Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item
Forsyth County (NC, not GA) has been hoping that an inventory module would be developed but it doesn't appear to be in any of numbered sprints for the browser-based client. The Sitka model certainly does work. I strongly recommend breaking the collection into clearly defined segments that you can finish in a reasonable amount of time, based on shelving locations or whatever works for you. Since batch editing items using the Item Status screen can crash if you try to do too many at a time and will prevent you from doing anything else in Evergreen at the same time, I usually break my txt file into chunks of no more than 250 items. I've processed 10,000 item files over a weekend, but it takes patience.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item
We tried this method using the 'lastediteddate' however I was not able to create a report with my limited knowledge and our older version. Given our large workforce of workstudy staff we were able to chose a rather labor intensive method, which has actually worked well for us. We needed to do a lot of quality control maintenance, and that is getting done. We are weeding sections first. We scanned sections into excel sheets and matched the barcodes against an inventory report from Evergreen. We then identified the items which weren't in the inventory list and also those missing. Again, we have fixed a lot of problems which otherwise would go undetected. I expect we will have our 'numbers' by Jan. 1, 2016 at the latest. Further repair and maintenance to catalog and items will likely take longer. We have 3.5 full time professional staff, 20-28 10 hr per week workstudy staff (amazing people these!) and a collection of 45,000. I hope you find this helpful.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item
For clarification, the web client work detailed in sprints is simply to move the current staff client to a web (or browser) based application instead of a downloadable client, so new functionality like an inventory module will not be included. But Equinox did provide a recent-ish development quote to Rogan at SCLENDS for an inventory module. I rethink revisiting that set of requirements might be a good launching point of there's interest in development. Cheers!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item
We also do more or less exactly what Jennifer and others have outlined in more detail. When the scanning is done, we generally pull our missing list directly from the DB, with a query something like the one listed below (adjust to suit), which we then import into Excel for staff/student searching of items.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2.9-alpha Release Postponed
Hi, all. As release manage for the Evergreen 2.9 release, I decided to postpone today's planned alpha release pending some resolution of two new Launchpad bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1479107 https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1479110 Both of these affect the conditional negative balances features, and I thought it better to wait for some progress on those fronts rather than releasing something that will change quite a bit in behavior in a few weeks. Furthermore, the release notes for the conditional negative balance feature have not been rolled out, yet, as those notes also depend upon what happens with the above two bugs.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Full author date on individual titles?
Interestingly, the search under the author name link is retaining the full value from the 100$d. I suspect normalization in the tpac itself is at work here... [looks at code] Yep, it looks like there is some normalization of $d around line 72 of Open-ILS/src/templates/opac/parts/record/authors.tt2. If the field starts with for numbers we take just those, and likewise take just the year part of the death date.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Feedback requested on patron editor in web client
Hi, The patron edit screen looks good. I like that the options for Save and Save Clone are on the right where staff currently click and also because most staff using a mouse use it on the right side. I'm assuming that if you do not want to Save then staff would just click the next function such as Holds. Thanks.

I've created a mock-up based on the feedback - http://www.screencast.com/t/4lcqzkcxedgN. The idea is that all of the elements above the Patron Edit heading in this interface would remain fixed to the top of the interface. This mock-up displays the edit view of the registration/edit form. The tabs that bring you to the different areas of the patron record (check out, items out, holds, etc.) would be fixed as well, which fits in with the easy access we have to those buttons in the existing client. Although people didn't think it was necessary to keep the display options accessible at all times, I put those in the fixed area primarily because it made the best use of the space available. Let me know if you have any feedback on this mock-up!
